Football (Mens)

We are a football club for the LGBTQ community and our friends. We run regular training sessions, and we enter all sorts of different tournaments and events, locally, nationally, and internationally. 

We are also in the GFSN nationwide 11 a side league for the 2019/2020 season.

FOOTBALL V HOMOPHOBIA FIFA 21 CUP

We, in partnership with Sussex FA, BN1 Gaming and Football.v.Homophobia are running a FIFA 21 Tournament on PlayStation, Xbox and PC on Saturday 27 February 2021 at 11am. 

Usually ourselves and Sussex FA compete in exhibition matches during February to show support for Football.v.Homophobia month of action. 

However, due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are taking this year’s activities online. We’re also inviting the rest of the county to join us; players, coaches and volunteers at all our grassroots clubs at Sussex will be able to enter to represent their club whilst football remains suspended.

All matches in the knockout tournament will take place on Saturday 27 February. There will be separate tournaments for each console (PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X and PC). Entrants will be required to make an account on Challengermode, which will be used to create the tournament draw and will provide a safe and secure platform for players to arrange to play each other.

We hope that all players, as well as the rest of the Sussex football community will donate what they can to support the charity.
